Basic questions like this can be found in the search box that's up there. ^^

As for the issue, start at the top. Battery. Have it checked or replace it with another one to see if that helps. Then try terminals. Then the starter. Check the voltage when the car is running to make sure the alternator is doing it's job.

Good luck!

I as well have noticed a hesitation in starting up.... but haven't had any problems. Is this normal i'm assuming?
